which once is the best... i need a good sound card with firewire so i can connect my sony camera to it.. using that ilink thing

HELP PLZ

forget the retail box price.. i can talk to teh guy

I thought only the Audigy came with Firewire ports, because if so, that would cut your list down a bit. As for the rest, I thought the only real difference between Audigy cards (oem vs retail/ MP3 vs gamer) is the software.

Audigy is the one to get. Which one to get depends on whether you want the software that comes with the retail versions.

[assnips]

some guy is offering me an AUDIGY PLATINUM for 90-95 U.S just the card it self

is it worth it

or should i just get AUDIGY GAMER for 115 CAD

[joe52985]

god damnit just buy somthing! :), i would recommend just got to like best buy canada or whatever and buy the audigy platnum or something, which ever one has the live drive, save yourself time and aggrivation of having to deal with real people when stores are so much easier, well at least here in the states i dont know how canadian shopping is...

[GraingerGuy]

Assnips - No....90 is not worth it. If he's just giving you the card then it's a ripoff. It it were the card and the live drive, then it would be a deal. If he just gave you the card it would be like giving you an OEM card. Get the gamer.

[assnips]

so if u were to buy platinum the point of it is livedrive then?

ill get gamer tommorw

thanks bud

whats the diff between MP3+ 5.1 Retail box and MP3+ Audigy Retail aand

Value 5.1 Audigy OEM

which one is better

[Memo]

The Audigy is the newest sound card from Creative. The 5.1 is the penultimate card from them. The difference between the MP3+ Audigy Retail and Audigy OEM is that the OEM has no software. It is the same card. I would go with the Audigy OEM unless you really want the MP3 Software.

[assnips]

thanks bud

i owe u one

i had a feeling that it was the same but for an extra like 20 its not worth it

sorry bout the 100000 quest

im just how do u say THRIFTY

[Memo]

No problem, that is the reason why we're all here at G|A :)

[G_Sup]

Also, the OEM has plastic multi colored connectors instead of gold. This is in reference to OEM vs Retail. Just thought you should know.

[GBubonis]

What's CAD stand for? :D

[assnips]

CAnDada

what does GlA stand for

[G_Sup]

I always thought it "Cnd", EX: $500 cnd. I guess you learn something everyday!

[Ladogaboy]

Actually, CAD is computer assisted design.

and G|A means nothing... however, G|A? means, Got|Apex?... :P
